Modeling Chinese Teachers' Behavioral Intention to Use Recording Studios in Primary Schools
Interactive Learning Environments, v31 n7 p4182-4199 2023
Primary school teachers may lack the competencies to create and deliver lessons using ICT equipments. As a result, schools possess large quantities of rarely used educational ICT resources. The recording studio, a kind of ICT which is helpful in producing videos for teaching reflection, has recently been widely promoted and used in Chinese primary schools. This research aims to investigate teachers' intention regarding recording studios and other technologies to deliver instruction, so as to explain and decrease the widespread paradox between the high access and low use of ICT for Education (ICT4E). A triangle inquiry framework between using the status of ICT4E and its influencing factors was revealed, and the conceptual model of personal and environmental influencing factors on educators' behavioral intention was constructed. The model was validated by collecting data from 208 teachers in Chinese primary schools. Results indicated that compatibility, performance expectancy, and social influence directly influenced teachers' intention to use recording studios. External pressure and support included personal factors such as peer influence, which indirectly affected educators' intention. Finally, suggestions were made to administrators in primary schools on decreasing the existing paradox from the perspective of encouraging teachers' use of ICT.
